Xbox One keeps turning itself on...
Our Xbox One (hooked to a Samsung smart TV) keeps turning itself on.

Xbox controller never turns on, just the console.

I can use the TV remote to turn it off, but it's a PITA.

Any idea how to make this stop, since it's annoying as hell?

I put mine on energy saving. Otherwise it would turn on automatically.

Mine did this too. Could be several things..

Auto updates - turn this off

bad power brick

Wipe off the power button. This sounds really stupid but it worked for some. There was dust on the static power button causing it to activate.

My old Xbox One only did it a few times and I never figured out what was the cause. I now have a Xbox One X and it has never done it yet....knock on wood.

Here is a link that covers possible reasons for it turning on: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/...-one-turn-on-itself/

That's because the NSA wants to hear what you are saying. Speak up!
